Douluo Dragon King: The First Person in History

Chapter 31 of the First Person

They discovered that this extreme spatial attribute was the nemesis of all elemental martial souls.

Faced with the ultimate spatial attribute, other attributes will be devoured and annihilated by the dense spatial attribute, leaving only spatial elements in the current space.

Even those with the same ultimate martial spirit are still limited in the face of the Void Body. There are also differences in strength among ultimate martial spirits.

Even if Gu Yue becomes the only Title Douluo in history who can utilize multiple elements, he will still be at a disadvantage against Qian Gu Chen Ran and Na'er.

Na'er skipped and hopped over to Leng Yulai, "Auntie Lai, I'm leaving Gu Yue to you. I'm going to find the boss!"

"Okay! Na'er, take Li Yugang with you when you go! That way I'll feel at ease!"

Na'er left happily, while Gu Yue walked in with a dark expression on her face.

She glanced at Leng Yulai and said, "Your Majesty Dark Phoenix!"

Leng Yulai nodded with a smile, "Gu Yue, don't be discouraged! Actually, Na'er's performance this time exceeded my expectations."

Gu Yue nodded, defeated by her other half; she was now utterly despondent!

Leng Yulai understood and respected Gu Yue's current state. After all, she had thought herself a peerless genius, but unexpectedly, she couldn't even withstand a few moves from someone else.

Donghai City Forging Association

As soon as Qian Gu Chenran got out of the car, he saw one of his two masters. Mu Ye waved, "My dear disciple, it's been a long time!"

"Master, it's been a long time!" Qian Gu Chen Ran walked up to Mu Ye and hugged him.

Mu Ye pinched the muscles on Qian Gu Chen Ran's arm and nodded in satisfaction. "As expected of someone from our Body Sect, your blood and energy, your physique are truly robust! Speaking of which, how come the Spirit Transmission Tower in Donghai City only sent a few Soul Emperors to protect you!"

With a casual probe of his spiritual power, Mu Ye naturally discovered the Spirit Transmission Tower personnel who had been following Qian Gu Chen Ran at a distance.

Qian Gu Chen Ran shook his head. "Master, Donghai City is not as good as Shrek Academy or the Mingdu Spirit Pagoda. There are only so many strong individuals here! Besides, with the Tibetan Mastiff around, we won't encounter any danger in Donghai City!"

Mu Ye nodded in agreement. This golden-haired lion-dog possessed 43,000 years of ultimate space and ultimate power. Even a regular Title Douluo wouldn't be a threat to it.

The master and disciple, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, chatted, but when they talked about Zhenhua, Mu Ye looked embarrassed!

He transmitted his voice through his soul power, "My good disciple, hold back a bit when you're forging later. Your master Zhenhua is no human being; I've been observing the forging skills of your uncle's daughter these past few days."

"Yes! The future is promising, the future is promising! But if you go all out, I'm afraid that child will be so discouraged that they'll have no future."

The thought of his precious apprentice, a level 5 blacksmith, competing with that little girl in forging made Mu Ye break out in a cold sweat for the child.

Zhenhua kept pretending to be humble and feigning a headache, saying that his apprentice was progressing a bit slowly. His junior apprentice actually took it seriously, saying that the two kids should have a chat later!

Zhenhua nodded in agreement, while Muye looked at him with disdain. He never expected that his old friend, a grown man, would still be playing the fool.

Mu Chen had been taking good care of Mu Ye during this time, which is why Mu Ye came downstairs early.

While receiving the ancient dust, I reminded him to hold back a bit, to let my good disciple hold back.

Don't actually break someone's heart by doing this for their child.

Chapter 58 Mu Chen's existential crisis

Qian Gu Chenran nodded. "I'll hold back a bit!"

Makino smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this. This little apprentice of his was the most worry-free, always knowing how to act appropriately. Unlike the other one, sigh!

The thought of his eldest disciple made Mu Ye feel suffocated! Ever since he received financial support from the wealthy Qian Gu family, Aruheng had completely let himself go.

He could freely enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, eat all kinds of lavish meals, and just tell his junior brother what kind of spirit he wanted. Aruheng wished he could spend every day at the Spirit Transfer Tower, and Muye rarely saw him.

They took the elevator to the top floor of the Forging Masters Association. The elevator doors had just opened when a series of hurried footsteps sounded. Zhenhua strode over, shoved Mu Ye aside, and stood beside Qian Gu Chenran.

"Chenran, it's been so long since we last met. Have you missed your master?"

"Of course, Master, I'll need to lend a hand when we're forging later!"

"Just do your best! Show your senior master what a true genius is."

Looking resentfully at the old man and the young man who had left him behind and were walking ahead on their own, Mu Ye could only follow. In his heart, he cursed Zhen Hua's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Zhenhua led him into a forging room, where he saw a middle-aged, burly man smiling at him, and a blonde girl with a ponytail standing beside him, her blue eyes wide with curiosity.

Qian Gu Chenran looked at his master, Zhenhua, who introduced the two to him: "The man on the left is my junior brother, who is also your senior uncle, Mu Chen. The girl next to him is his daughter, Mu Xi."

"Mu Chen, Xiao Xi, this is my disciple Chen Ran, Qian Gu Chen Ran."

Mu Chen patted Qian Gu Chenran on the shoulder. "Good boy, this blood and energy is a good prospect for forging. Come on, Xiao Xi, say hello to Chenran."

Mu Xi stepped forward and extended her hand, a smile appearing on her beautiful face. "Hello, junior brother, I am Mu Xi."

Qian Gu Chen Ran grasped Mu Xi's hand and nodded with a smile.

After exchanging a few more words, Zhenhua suggested that Qian Gu Chenran forge the item on the spot.

"Chen Ran, show your master a thing or two."

Zhenhua looked at Qian Gu Chenran expectantly, and Qian Gu Chenran gave him a thumbs up.

Stepping onto the forging platform, Qian Gu Chen Ran casually selected a piece of sunken silver and a piece of bright steel.

As the most versatile metal, immersion silver can be fused with most metals to form alloys, but the proportions of each metal vary. This requires blacksmiths to collect various formulas themselves.

With the backing of Zhenhua and Qiangu families, Qiangu Chenran never had to worry about the formula. As a level 5 blacksmith and level 4 soul master, he now had to prepare the alloy for forging the battle armor in advance.

The Flame of the Void directly heated the two pieces of metal. Holding the Xuan Yang Hammer in his hand, he struck the sinking silver and the bright steel with both hammers at the same time.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The sounds of forging began to echo throughout the forging room. Mu Chen stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief. He turned to Zhen Hua beside him and transmitted his soul power.

"Where did you find such a monster? He's only ten years old and he's already forging alloys! A level five blacksmith, I mean, where did you get such good luck, you bastard..."

At this moment, Mu Chen's words automatically transformed into praise in Zhen Hua's ears! Jealousy! This is jealousy of me!

In less than a minute, both the silver and the steel were completed at the hundredth forging! In the past four years, although Qian Gu Chen Ran had not devoted all his attention to forging, his various forging skills had also improved rapidly.

Place the two pieces of metal together, then extend your arms and strike both sides of the metal with two hammers simultaneously. Boom! Boom! Boom! With each strike, the two pieces of metal begin to press inward and fuse together.

Zhenhua's eyes lit up, Mu Chen's eyes were filled with jealousy, Mu Xi's face was full of admiration, and Mu Ye's face was full of relief!

As a Body Douluo, he could naturally see that his disciple had incorporated various secret techniques of their Body Sect into his work. He perfectly mobilized his body's qi and blood without wasting any energy, and then used the forging hammer as a carrier to unleash hidden force to achieve the effect of stacking hammers.

Compression and fusion. This may be very demanding for other blacksmiths. The hammers from both hands must fall in perfect unison, without the slightest deviation. Otherwise, if the force is uneven, fusion cannot be completed at all.

However, for Qian Gu Chen Ran, who had cultivated the secret techniques of the physical body, this kind of delicate operation related to the physical body was extremely simple.

As the twin hammers rose and fell again, silver soul power mixed in, and a heavy aura surged forth!

Black! Black! Black! Black! Four dense black spirit rings appeared one after another behind Qian Gu Chen Ran. Spirit power was integrated into the metal with each strike.

Alloy forging is not just about the surface; it pursues internal fusion. During forging, the forger needs to use soul power as a bridge to allow the alloys to fuse together, maintaining their spirituality while allowing them to begin to sublimate.

This is why advanced blacksmiths are all high-level soul masters. Without a certain amount of soul power, the later stages of forging simply cannot proceed.

The ultimate martial soul has a unique advantage in terms of soul power. Although soul masters with ultimate martial souls cultivate extremely slowly between levels 30 and 70, their soul power is far purer and richer than that of other soul masters.

Qian Gu Chen Ran, at level 44, far surpasses some level 60 Soul Emperors in terms of soul power.

Black, black spirit rings, or four spirit rings? Mu Chen stared at Qian Gu Chen Ran in shock. He pointed at the four black spirit rings, his eyes wide open, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Mu Xi covered her mouth, a mix of feelings—envy, admiration, and reverence—surfacing in her heart.

Zhenhua and Muye exchanged a glance and chuckled, enjoying seeing their shocked expressions.

Qian Gu Chen Ran paid no attention to Mu Chen's exaggerated facial expressions, but instead devoted himself to forging, his blood and soul power surging into the metal.

As a beloved hammer passed down through the ages, the Xuan Yang Hammer naturally possesses top-tier special effects. One such effect is "Spirit Summoning," a rare and exceptional effect that even Zhen Hua envies.

Under the influence of spiritual energy, the metal's spirit will become extremely compliant with the blacksmith's will and enhance the metal's spirituality. This allows the blacksmith to save more time and energy during the forging process and focus on the forging itself, rather than struggling to communicate with the metal.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Gu Chen Ran gently tapped the already fused alloy with his left hammer, causing it to spin in place on the forging table.

Immediately following, the right hammer struck, and the two hammers fell one after the other. Zhenhua nodded repeatedly, his eyes red and filled with tears.

Chen Ran is such an outstanding child! Spin! Although spin forging is more difficult than the previous extrusion forging, the effect is also far superior, making the metal more compact and uniform during the fusion process.

I had only demonstrated it a few times before, but my precious apprentice was already so proficient. He must have put in a lot of hard work.

When Mu Chen saw the spinning forging technique, he was quite surprised, but then he frowned and used his soul power to transmit his voice to Zhen Hua, "Although the effect of spinning forging is definitely stronger than compression and fusion, it consumes a lot of energy, physical strength, and soul power. Can this child handle it?"

Zhenhua smiled slightly and looked at Mu Chen, "Have you forgotten who my disciple's second master was?"

Mu Chen looked at Mu Ye and suddenly realized! That's right, this child has also cultivated the Body Secret Technique, which means his physical strength and energy far exceed those of ordinary people!

"Zhenhua, you son of a bitch!" Mu Chen was filled with resentment at the thought that Zhenhua had such a good disciple!

Time passed second by second, and even after half an hour, Qian Gu Chen Ran continued to strike the metal with a relaxed expression.

Watching the still-spinning metal, Qian Gu Chenran concentrated, and the speed at which the double hammers fell became faster and faster.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! The melodious sounds of forging echoed one after another. Even the usually composed Zhenhua broke out in a cold sweat.

His apprentice had gone too far this time, directly increasing the speed and intensity of the forging process. This was a huge drain on the blacksmith's energy and soul power.

The silver vortex grew brighter with each strike of Qian Gu Chen Ran. Finally, Qian Gu Chen Ran struck the metal with both hammers simultaneously, and a silver light appeared along with a piercing sound.

The silver light continued to rise, finally reaching exactly five feet! The silver light flickered and distorted, and a silver figure floating cross-legged in mid-air emerged from it.

Immediately following, a purplish-gold dragon soul flew out and coiled around the figure. It roared, causing a purplish-gold light to rise four feet from the silver light!

"Good! A thousand forgings bring forth spirit, and fusion forging awakens spirit! Well done, Chen Ran!" Zhen Hua, Mu Chen, and Mu Xi gave Chen Ran a warm round of applause the moment he finished forging the Thousand Ancient Dust!

Qian Gu Chenran nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this. The appearance of the spirit arising from the fusion forging signifies that the alloy forging was very successful, and such a phenomenon only occurs when the metals are fused thoroughly and possess sufficient spirituality.

Each blacksmith's spiritual awakening state is completely different, and the appearance of the awakened spirit is closely related to their martial soul. For example, Qian Gu Chen Ran's silver figure represents his Tai Xu Body martial soul, while his purple-gold dragon shadow represents the dragon soul on his Panlong Staff.

The height of the spirit's awakening is related to the degree of metal fusion and the quality of the Soul Master's Martial Soul! Generally speaking, being able to awaken a spirit a foot high is already quite difficult. But for the exceptionally gifted Qian Gu Chenran, it's all a piece of cake!

As the light faded, a piece of original crimson metal was revealed! It appeared crystal clear, with black patterns resembling flames on its surface. Just looking at it seemed as if flames were appearing within it.

Red steel! An alloy that is extremely suitable for fire-attribute soul masters!

Zhenhua took out a special instrument for detecting fusion degree from his soul tool and scanned Chigang!

"Hmm! Chen Ran, this piece of red steel has a strength of exactly ninety-two!"

The word flashed through Mu Chen's mind, and he hurriedly went to Zhenhua to take a look at the numbers on it!

He looked at Qian Gu Chenran, his eyes filled with self-doubt! What had he been doing all his life?

Sorry, I have a slight fever today, and I managed to type nearly 3,000 words.
